Contract Opportunities

/ / /

How do I find the business opportunities?

In order to be the most successful Government contractor, it is recommended that you not only seek current solicited opportunities, but also understand planned and forecasted procurements that are planned for solicitation.

Being aware of planned procurements helps you understand where to better focus your business development efforts within USACE, but will also help your small business team know how to plan out potential project and proposal dates.

As always, if you have any questions on any of the planned procurements or how to better utilize SAM.gov to locate current solicitations, you can utilize your district/center small business office.

This list should be used to understanding upcoming opportunities, and especially where the strategy is yet to be determined can be an opportunity to do more research on the specific project and further market your firm's capabilities and interest in the projects (Note: Self- marketing does not guarantee a specific acquisition strategy determination.). You can first reach out to the cognizant district/center small business office to discuss further.

It is not always a guarantee, but current projects at districts/centers can also be indicators (as well as Top 5 district/contract list) of past procurements and additional future similar work, which should help you with your market research to determine the best districts/centers to do business with and focus efforts.
